hi,
last month one of my original 30,000 mi tires on the X
took a nail and was patched by local shop, contrary to some
opinions these can be patched easily.
we have 18" bridgestone RFTs.
we put about 2000 more miles on the truck since, including
1500 this weekend alone.
this had been the first tire issue in almost 3 years too.
i would not bother with these big SUVs and their bulkier tires.
i could see getting it with a real low profile tire and wheel
on a smaller car.
